If you were starting a project or business, common sense would tell you that you could produce 5x as much output if there were five people working on your goals than if there were just one person. If you are running a counseling program, ten counselors should be able to do 10x the work as a single counselor, right? If you are starting a candle company, twenty employees should be able to produce 4x the work as five employees, right? If you are a mom cleaning out a garage, you should get … [Read more...]
Oh, Rush … Really?

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh and during part of the show he said there is going to be a massive backlash this November against Democrats over the Perry v. Schwarzenegger ruling because of the "judicial activism" of Judge Walker. Uh ... wait... what?! How are the Republicans going to blame the Democrats for this when it was President Reagan who tried to put Walker on the bench and couldn't get it done because he was so conservative that Nancy Pelosi did almost everything she could to … [Read more...]

A friend of mine sent me information on the recent actions of the Attorney General in Virginia. I almost couldn't believe it, but true enough, he has issued his legal opinion that state colleges and universities cannot self-govern and determine their own community standards, including creating classes of people they want to protect. Not only is this bad for civil rights, it is an affront to the independence of the nation's school systems. Educational institutions must be free to teach … [Read more...]
Dominion Theology and the United States
March 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
A few weeks ago, I was reading a political message board where some commentators espoused their sincere belief that all of humanity's problems will be solved when they succeed in implementing dominion theology. Intrigued, I began to research the concept. What I found was frightening. The only good news is that all mainline Christian religions have rejected dominion theology, although some, such as Focus on the Family, are accused of practicing a "soft" form if it. In a nutshell, … [Read more...]
The Sin of Sodom and Gomorrah

Discussing the Sin of Sodom at a Family Dinner After we left St. Louis, I stopped by to visit family and spent an afternoon at my grandmother's house having dinner, discussing politics, and Christianity in general. The conversation was great and had many of the same topics that the younger generation of Christians have been discussing on everything from abortion rights to international trade. One of the things that came up was how often Christians spout scripture that they believe they … [Read more...]
Horseshoe Political Theory
September 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Those who talk about "the left" or "right right" when it comes to politics or political theory are often missing a very important point. The best illustration comes from horseshoe political theory, which states that opposing sides of an issue are more like the ends of a horseshoe. In other words, their belief in the right to force their will on the populace is just as strong with the only difference being the specific beliefs they are espousing. Instead of being complete opposites on a … [Read more...]
I'm a private investor, author, and business philosopher who started with nothing and was essentially retired by my early twenties thanks to my first Internet startup. I went to school on a music scholarship and spend my days doing what I want and growing Kennon Green Enterprises, LLC, the family holding company.
